The doctor/specialist medical retailer will decide whether and which Spinomed back braces are the best possible form of treatment for you.

The strap system and the back brace exert tension forces on the pelvic and shoulder areas. Users then unconsciously contract their muscles for a more erect posture of the upper body. Spinomed is recommended in the guidelines of the DVO (German osteology umbrella organisation) for the treatment of osteoporosis. Strengthening the muscles co-ordinates the interplay between the muscles for more harmonious movements. Weight training with machines illustrates particularly clearly how the different doses of weights and repeat lifts lead to different training outcomes:

1. High weight – fewer lifts

This combination to overcome the maximum weight exerts the most effective stimulus on the bones. It is best suited for countering accelerated bone loss.

2. Low weight – many lifts

Lifting a low weight many times specifically trains endurance. The positive influence on everyday activities and general fitness soon becomes clear.

3. Moderately heavy weight – rapid repeat lifts

A training combination of moderately heavy weights and rapid repeat lifts optimises muscle performance, balance and co-ordination. The effect is a better sense of balance to prevent falls.

Summary:

A variety of the above methods will help to improve all forms of strength. More muscle mass, better prognosis for bone quality, fitness and more confidence when moving around are the rewards. Discover your own movement concept and training becomes enjoyable. Make sure you ask your doctor before you start training.
